America's School Kids Under Psychiatric Surveillance

This is fundamental transformation. This is psychological warfare against America, yet again. Don't trust it, don't fall for it. Now we also have more information on why the Sandy Hook manufactured crisis occurred. -W.E.

Using the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre as its
justification, the Obama administration has recently given the
psychiatric business and pharmaceutical industry a major gift by quietly
introducing a behavioral and mental health program in public schools
throughout the United States.

An under-reported section of "Now is the Time" is applied to “making schools safer” and “improving mental health services” for students.

Mass media have blacked out the Obama administration’s
program which transforms our nation’s public schools in to lucrative
referral centers for big psychopharma.

On September 22, 2014 Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell announced $99 million in new grants “to
train new mental health providers, help teachers and others recognize
mental health issues in youth and connect them to help and increase
access to mental health services for young people.”

On September 23 the Department of Education announced an additional
$70 million in “School Climate Transformation grants.” According to the
DOE, over half of the funding “will be used to develop, enhance, or
expand systems of support for implementing evidence based, multi-tiered
behavioral frameworks for improving behavioral outcomes and learning
conditions.”

The goals of such measures include “connecting children, youths,
and families to appropriate services and supports,” and “increasing
measures of and the ability to respond to mental health issues among
school-aged youth."

ProPublica's reports on how hundreds of kids are being restrained by police & staff across the country.

Hundreds of kids are being injured, some seriously, each year
during restraints or seclusions, according to govt. reports and
advocates. Parents have powerful stories to tell. Most of restraints and
seclusions happen to kids with disabilities– and are more likely to
happen to kids with autism or emotional/behavioral problems.
Add psychiatric problems to the growing list and even a skeptic can see
how public schools are being turned into a prison full of drug addicted
kids.

Defending searches of school kids, Michigan security director says
“Every school has drugs in it, this is one of our ways to control that,”
Charlie Brown, Rockford Public Schools security director, said of
canine searches at the district's middle and high schools. “We believe
it works."

“It turns students into suspects in a place where we should
be nurturing them and focusing on their learning,” said Marc Allen, of
the ACLU of Michigan. “There are ways to do a search that are more
narrow and don’t implicate people’s privacy rights.”

Both HHS and DOE explicitly cite Obama’s Now is the
Time declaration as rationale for the new programs. “The administration
is committed to increasing access to mental health services to protect
the health of children and communities,” Secretary Burwell asserts. “If
kids don’t feel safe, they can’t learn,” Secretary of Education Arne
Duncan similarly remarks. “Through these grants of more than $70
million, we are continuing our commitment to ensure that kids have
access to the best learning experience possible.”

Of the DOE’s $70 million, $13 million is allocated to aiding school
districts in creating “high-quality school emergency plans.” Another
$14 million goes toward “Project Prevent grants” for violence-plagued
schools to “be used for school-based counseling services, or referrals
to community-based counseling services for assistance in coping with
trauma or anxiety.”

The US government’s continued aggressive transformation of the healthcare system, is beyond disturbing.

Psychiatry& drug manufacturers’ shared mission is to persuade
an increasing segment of the population that it has one or more
undiagnosed mental or emotional “disorders” that require analysis and
treatment.

Why else would they introduce psychiatric explanations and
methodologies into school environments? It guarantees them a growing
customer base for the psychiatric profession and pharmaceutical
industry.

The HHS and DOE announced their mental health grants two weeks
before National Depression Screening Day on October 9th. The occasion
for “mental health awareness” has been observed since the early 1990s by
Screening for Mental Health, Inc., a nonprofit 501c offering its own
free online examination.

“People stop and they check in on their physical health but they
don’t do the same with their mental health,” says Michelle Holmberg,
director of programs at SMH. “In the same way you would get a blood
pressure screening … why aren’t people stopping to do mental health
screenings?”

Federal bills to curtail the use of restraints/seclusion have
stalled (Bills have been sponsored by U.S. Representative George Miller
of California and Senator Tom Harken, Iowa), as the American Association
of School Administrators (AASA) and the National School Boards
Association have opposed these efforts with strong Congressional
Republican support.
